Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Arrange chicken in a baking dish. Whisk together mango chutney, tamarind paste, vegetable oil, garlic, chilies, ginger and spices. Brush chicken with mixture. Roast for 40-45 mins, or until cooked through, basting occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, to make the almond pilaf, heat oil in a saucepan over high heat. Saute onion for 2-3 mins, until tender. Stir in rice. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10-12 mins, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in peas, currants and almonds. Cover and let rest for 5 mins.
